Speaker Mike Johnson Weighs Adding SAVE Act to Spending Bill After Trump’s Request — Mitch McConnell Must be Furious
Gateway Pubdit ^ | 9/2/24 | Jim Hoft

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is reportedly considering the inclusion of the SAVE Act in the upcoming spending bill. This decision comes at the behest of former President Donald Trump, who has made it clear that election integrity is a non-negotiable priority.

The SAVE Act, which mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections, has become a rallying cry for many Americans who believe it is crucial to safeguarding the sanctity of the ballot box.

President Trump has been unyielding in his support for the SAVE Act, going as far as to suggest that the government should shut down if the bill is not included in the Continuing Resolution (CR).

Speaking on Monica Crowley’s podcast, Trump emphasized the importance of the SAVE Act, along with other measures like reverting to paper ballots and bolstering border security, as essential steps to protect the nation’s future.

Add it or shut it down. They are playing with extremes so it is time we did the same.

Speaker Mike Johnson Weighs Adding SAVE Act to Spending Bill

This should be an absolute no-brainer...so of course Congressional Republicans have to "weigh" it.

Don’t threaten, do!

And then let the Democrats in the Senate shut down the government because they opposed a law to strengthen penalties for the voter fraud they say doesn’t exist.

Johnson needs to step up or be run over as the speed bump that he is.

You know they’ll fold but get two weeks of the world is ending hysteria from the Dems and media. Make the point that yes, this is worth the hysteria.

Once you have the people’s attention, how hard should it be to sell the SAVE act?

President Trump is absolutely, 100% correct about the importance of election integrity.

The left whines about *disenfranchising* voters and then goes ahead and does it to us.

Excellent point.

How ironic.

Isn’t this a state issue according to Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, the Tenth Amendment, and the Seventeenth Amendment?

Trust Johnson and the GOPe at your own peril. And of course if the SAVE act is put on with this spending bill then endless kinds of other crap will be added too. Say $50 billion to Ukraine again, all kinds of billions for all that wind/solar garbage to gain kickbacks, their pals in the military industrial complex, but not a dime investigating the attempted murder of President Trump.

We direly need a balanced budget amendment. Without it, career politicians will be addicted to spending other people’s money.
